Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

The Kubuntu team is proud to announce the release of Kubuntu 8.04.2, the
second and final maintenance update to Kubuntu's 8.04 release. This release
includes updated desktop, and alternate installation CDs for the i386 and
amd64 architectures. This update is provided in recognition that the current
Kubuntu release (8.10) with its cutting edge KDE 4 desktop is not yet
appropriate for all users.

In all, over 200 updates have been integrated, and updated installation
media has been provided so that fewer updates will need to be downloaded
after installation. These include security updates, and corrections for
other high-impact bugs, with a focus on maintaining stability and
compatibility with Kubuntu 8.04.

Kubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron In Double Vision

April 24, 2008 - Kubuntu 8.04 has been released and is available for
download now.

Kubuntu 8.04 stepped over the barriers of gutsiness and took on a whole new
feat by providing this latest release with double vision. Improved desktops,
updated applications, increased usability features, and a new future are
just a few of the surprises with this latest release. Improved desktops?
Double vision? Yes! Kubuntu 8.04 now provides you the ability to use either
one of two desktop environments, or both if you shall choose. If stability
is the feather in the cap you are looking for, then look no further than
Kubuntu 8.04 featuring the KDE 3 desktop environment. If you are looking for
a bit of an edge, Kubuntu has you covered with the new Kubuntu 8.04 KDE 4
Remix. This time around the development team jumped over hurdles, bent
backwards, and did all kinds of flips for a non-Olympic event in order to
bring you this latest release. So it is with our pleasure that we introduce
you to the new Kubuntu 8.04 and we hope you enjoy your ride aboard the Hardy
Heron.

The release candidate of Kubuntu 8.04 is available for one last testing round before release. The supported version comes
with the rock solid KDE 3 while a remix features the cutting edge KDE 4. Download or upgrade.

Kubuntu-KDE4 Hardy Alpha is here. There will be two editions of Kubuntu with the 8.04 release, a commercially supported KDE 3 edition and a community supported KDE 4 edition. We recommend the KDE 4 edition to those who want to try this exciting new desktop version and can put up with some missing features.
